Lunatic Rave is a 2CD bootleg by Roger Waters recorded at the Rosemont Horizon in Rosemont, Illinois on 26 July, 1984 in support of his album The Pros And Cons Of Hitch-Hiking. Eric Clapton was his guitarist for the entire tour, which made it a highlight. Waters' first set were songs from Pink Floyd's archives, including a song from The Final Cut that they did not tour for. The second set consists of The Pros And Cons Of Hitch-Hiking in its entirety before giving the crowd an encore with two more Pink Floyd songs. This was released by Mid Valley

Electric Frankenstein was guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Paolo Tofani, who played in progressive rock band Area. This album, a guitar extravaganza with long spacey guitar solos by Tofani and all the instruments played by himself, the album will appeal to acid-psych lovers rather than prog fans. Mostly instrumental with vocal parts in English, the album contained some reworkings of his previous works with I Califfi and also had two tracks released as a single.

Even though they started out on Musea, EGOBAND is another Mellow Records Italian obscurity. What does that mean? It means it's hard to find band information. But there is enough to paint a picture. The first album's lineup consisted of Alessandro Accordino on vocals and keyboards,
Fabio Cioni on drums,
Massimo Fava on guitars, and Alfonso Capasso on bass. However, only Accordino and Capasso would be consistent with the group over its four-album career. This, along with the fact that there were no live efforts, leads to speculation that EGOBAND may have been more of a project than a band (a la Steely Dan). They went through interesting changes over their career. Starting out purely Neo, with heavy AOR tendencies, and ending up almost in Canterbury territory by the time they got to "Earth"…

A Deep Red is the second full length album from post rock solo instrumentalist Code I. A Deep Red takes on a heavier indulgence of drums and guitar, heavy eerie atmospheres and a light at the end of the tunnel that keeps you on edge throughout your melodic journey.

Alexander James Harvey was a Scottish rock and blues musician. Although his career spanned almost three decades, he is best remembered as the frontman of The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, with whom he built a reputation as an exciting live performer during the era of glam rock in the 1970s. Growing up in Scotland, he turned to music in his late teens and was in a skiffle band by 1955. By 1959, it had evolved into the Alex Harvey Big Soul Band. Harvey took the group to Hamburg, West Germany in the early '60s, there recording his first LP, Alex Harvey and His Soul Band, in the fall of 1963, which did not feature the band. He and his group made their London debut in February 1964, and the same year he recorded The Blues, which essentially was a solo record…

Formed in 2011 with Mathew Spivack and Chris Childness, the band had several line-up changes with Kody Little departure and Calvin Merseal joining the band in 2013. At that period, the band went into a productive writing period. Kody came back to solidify things even further. The band has to rely on many musicians to play the keyboards because they don't have a permanent keyboard player. They had a lot of songs to record (more than 3 hours). The first album "Time of Departure" was the first of a trilogy around the story of Alan Quill struggling artist in this modern society. They played at the Progtoberfest III in Chicago, the second album "As We Were" was just ready for that festival. The music of Amalgam Effect shows some nice interplay between guitar and flute with a solid rhythm section. The influences of Jethro Tull and Rush can be heard but in the distinctive own style of the band.

This album brings this band in one sweep among the most interesting bands around. This albums contains numerous beautiful themes, some, but not a lot of, rock, intimate singing, interesting lyrics and a very agreeable moody atmosphere. Musically Timothy Pure can be likened to Pink Floyd, vocally to the Moody Blues.

Album of 2017 - Atlantropa a project of superlatives - building a huge dam, draining the Mediterranean, winning new land, uniting Africa and Europe, creating peace. That was in 1920 the ideas of the engineer Hermann Sörgel. Congenially set in music, a concept album against current background. Diverse compositions, complex themes, extraordinary joy of playing and highest virtuosity. Simple - progressive rock with depth!

After 2 years of activity, Eduardo AGUILLAR (keyboards, bass) discover some old home recordings and decided to produce an album for the band in what was at first meant to be a solo work. So he asks Claudio DANTAS drummer to participate. Then the went to the recordings of the keys, drums, and bass. The line-up is completed after one year with musicians that despite participating in others bands and in their solo projects, decided to be part of this new progressive rock bands. Luiz ZAMITH joined, guitarist from PROGRESSIVE ICONS and Marcus MOURA from BACARMATE on flute. The band released on Masque Records the album"Entre as Estralas" after 30 years with a 52 minutes track! and went on back to the stage to present this all instrumental 70's symphonic prog inspired music.

Island Noises is a double concept album based on The Tempest by William Shakespeare, there’s a sorcerer, a spirit of the air, a monstrous creature, it’s about the stuff that dreams are made on … sounds like a prog-concept album? – Exactly!

This is a first part to a 2 part E.P. series of unreleased tracks from the "Tightly Unwound" sessions. The first track is a smoother, softer version of the "Tightly Wound" track from the album and it is also edited down one minute shorter than the album track. The parts edited out are mostly instrumental repeats and may not be very noticeable that they are not there. "The West Coast" is a mostly acoustic song, very short and not much of a standout, on the 2nd half you get the nice Pineapple Thief harmonies and then it's over quickly.

Deftly mixing equal parts of folk and symphonic prog is what this Spanish band does best. The Strawbs did it with English folk whereas Ibio stress their Spanish roots; however, the comparison stops here as their musical styles have absolutely nothing in common. This quartet from Cantabria (land of the famous Caves of Altamira) released only one LP back in 1978 and then mysteriously disappeared. Despite some Italian symphonic overtones brought on by the lush keyboard work, the mostly instrumental album "Cuevas de Altamira" never lets you forget its Iberian origins: typical Spanish melodies with a generally upbeat tempo, strong presence of the acoustic guitar and a few but emphatic vocals (perhaps a little overwrought for some tastes). The abundance of moog, synths and mellotron, the complex drumming and the mildly distorted and phased electric guitar make it a 100% prog album.
